In the mid-nineties and early 2000s, there were many pop idols in our country. What is the work of Andrey Gubin or the Ladybug group worth. Many of their hits will be remembered for a lifetime. They still have fans, despite the fact that the performers of the famous hits themselves have long disappeared from sight. Woman's Day found out what happened to the twenty most popular artists that time.

Tramp boy

He was a favorite of schoolgirls, and cassettes with his hits were swept away like hot cakes. His angelic appearance and the voice broke more than one girl's heart, but such songs as "The Tramp Boy" or "Winter-Cold" sounded throughout the country.

Everything changed in 2007, when Gubin suddenly disappeared from television screens. It was said that the singer had problems with alcohol due to unrequited love to the girl. And someone even claimed that he had left Russia. To clarify the situation, you need to go back far into the past.

First album

His musical career began in the late eighties, not without the support of his father, Viktor Viktorovich Gubin, a former researcher and cartoonist, and by that time the vice president of the Russian Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange, the owner of several recording studios.

Andrei's first professional album was released only in 1995, after Gubin met famous musician Leonid Agutin. This album was called the debut song of the singer - "The Tramp Boy" and very quickly conquered the tops of all popularity ratings.

sudden disappearance

Nevertheless, after his unprecedented rise in the second half of the nineties, Andrei suddenly disappeared from sight. The peak of his popularity came in 2000, when Andrei made tours not only in the cities of Russia, but also in the United States, Israel, Germany, Azerbaijan, Latvia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. After that, Gubin no longer gave new concerts, although he released another one. new album and a collection of his best songs.

Father's death

recession creative activity Andrei is undoubtedly associated with the deteriorating health of his father, who not only helped his son get into the world of show business, but also constantly supported him, largely guiding his career as a singer. After all, Andrei, according to the reviews of his colleagues, was distinguished by a very gentle character and needed paternal control.

The death of Viktor Viktorovich in 2007 led to the virtual cessation of his son's creative activity. For some time, by inertia, fans were interested in the ups and downs of their hero, and then slowly began to forget him.

Disease

Then rumors spread that Andrei was diagnosed with the disease. nervous system which caused constant severe pain in the face. Doctors helped to overcome the spiritual crisis. He says that he was treated twice in the neurosis clinic.

Now

Today Andrei is already over 40. The ex-idol leads a reclusive life in Moscow, has noticeably recovered, but still dreams of returning to the stage.

“I look bad now, so I don’t perform. If I get into shape, I will definitely perform, but I'm not ready yet, - says the singer. “I write music all the time, I compose poetry, but for myself, I train my soul.”

Alexander Aivazov

Popularity

Alexander Aivazov is known to the general public as Sasha Aivazov as a pop singer of the 90s, who then sang a hit about "Lilies" and "Moon Butterfly". A popular but critically underestimated singer, Sasha Aivazov became famous back in 1989. Then his first hit sounded - "Lily". The image of a romantic teenager singing sincere and simple love songs was confirmed by the first two albums: “Don't be sad” and “Where are you?”.

The superhit “I beg you, don’t cry” becomes, as it were, a farewell to the singer’s teenage period. The song brings the matured Aivazov all-Russian popularity, which is soon confirmed by the third album. It comes out at the end of 1996, and in it Sasha already acts as a composer. "Moon Butterfly", "Time River", "It's Just a Game" are the undisputed hits of the latest release.

In general, the disc turns out to be very successful due to hit melodies, lightness, excitement of performance and a very colorful synthesis of flamenco, rockabilly and pop music. Yes, and the matured and matured Alexander himself appears in the guise of a kind of macho, attractive to fans, in no way resembling the lyrically touching Sasha of past years.

In 1998, fashionable "remixers", in particular Roman Ryabtsev, DJ Valdai, make dance versions of "Moon Butterfly". The performer himself has a noticeable creative crisis - having found his own own style in "Moon Butterfly", Aivazov again embarked on experiments. And eventually turned into an ordinary pop singer, only unlike many colleagues who no longer promote themselves on television and radio.

His new hit "I'll Solve You", which appeared in the fall of 1998, also did not impress. And in 1999, Alexander Aivazov, alas, who did not develop the success of "Moon Butterfly", unfortunately for the fans, leaves the charts.

Alcoholism

The artist never hid: with alcohol, he rarely happens on “you”. Aivazov liked to sit with friends over a little white bottle and almost never refused a glass or two on social events. Gradually, the habit grew into a serious addiction. The singer, who was under a degree, completely forgot about his former popularity and almost lost his family.

A year ago, Sasha's wife, Irina, left three year old son Nikita. She was tired of enduring her husband's drunkenness. To regain his wife's trust, the 41-year-old singer went to a drug treatment clinic for treatment.

“I drank to the point that every day I lie under droppers,” Alexander said then. - I myself am to blame for everything! But if Ira sends a lawyer, I will not sign any documents. I do not want to divorce her, I will fight for love. I realized everything and I want to fix everything. If she forgives me, I will never touch alcohol again in my life.

Rehabilitation in drug treatment clinic Marshak

In the hospital, Aivazov courageously fought his addiction. All so that his beloved wife and son are near. The thought that he would eventually lose his family was unthinkable to him.

Every morning in the hospital, he started with a jog on fresh air through the hospital park and from yoga classes in the ward. Then a lot of rehabilitation procedures were carried out with him, conversations with a psychologist. In the end, everything worked out! Sasha stopped drinking and managed to save his family. Now he lives happily and is engaged in creativity. True, his popularity has gone forever.

Group Demo

Peak of popularity

Any school disco of the late nineties could not do without the hits of the Demo group. Alexandra Zvereva, the soloist of the group, never had outstanding vocal abilities. But this was not required of her.

Parting with the producer

In 2002, Zvereva and her producer Vadim Polyakov terminated the contract with ARS. Demo clips began to disappear from the air of music channels. And then the soloist announced that she was expecting a baby, and since then we have not heard anything about Demo.

Demo now

It turned out that the Demo group still exists, only in a different line-up. Well, Sasha Zvereva from time to time records solo songs, and also sews clothes for her brand.

"We didn't stop tour activity, I traveled to cities and countries even on recent months pregnancy, says mother Sasha Zvereva twice. – Over the years, Demo has released 7 albums. The group is not worried about being off the air: the tour continues, there is money for life. My main income is my man, and Demo is more of a hobby. We live apart, we have a club of fans and we believe that people will separate the wheat from the chaff and understand what is done artificially to make money, and what is done from the heart.”

shura

Success and recognition

Once Shura, aka Alexander Medvedev, amazed the public with his own image and was one of the most discussed personalities on the national stage. The bright blonde with no teeth was more likely to yell songs than sing, and behaved, to put it mildly, strangely.

However, this only helped many to believe that he had talent. Popularity became too heavy a psychological burden for Shura, he became addicted to drugs, which almost became fatal for him.

Terrible disease and drug addiction

The singer fell ill with cancer, but managed to overcome both ailments by undergoing chemotherapy and treatment for drug addiction. Of course, I had to move away from the past image. But look like normal person Shura obviously didn't want to.

Return

The singer inserted artificial teeth for himself, lay down under the scalpel several times plastic surgeons and returned to the stage in even more in a strange way– openly homosexual. Nevertheless, he has his audience to this day.

Tatyana Ovsienko

Former popularity

Previously, not a single one passed without performances by Tanya Ovsienko big concert, none solemn ceremony. But today, she is completely forgotten.

Once upon a time, the famous singer Tatyana Ovsienko had everything: money, career, fame. But one day she traded all this for the happy smile of a child. At one time, in pursuit of millions, the singer did not think about children until one moment.

Foster-son

One day, fate gave her an amazing meeting. Once Tatyana gave a concert in orphanage and drew attention to the little boy, Igor. Later, the singer was told that the parents abandoned the child when he was diagnosed with a neglected heart defect. According to the educators, Igor was not a tenant, he needed a complex operation, but she had orphanage there was no money.

And then Tatyana seemed to light up, she realized that she could save this child. She immediately went to one of the best Moscow clinics, agreed on an operation, paid fabulous money for it, and Igor was successfully operated on. When the boy recovered from the operation, Tatyana took him to her home.

Ovsienko issued guardianship to him, and Igor officially became her son. To cook porridge for the baby and change diapers, Tatyana abandoned work and unloved husband Vladimir Dubovnitsky lived for 18 years, so as not to injure the psyche of the child with a divorce. She would probably still share a bed with him if he had not found another and announced that he was leaving.

New love

Now Tatyana is preparing for a new marriage. Her chosen one was businessman Alexander Merkulov. The proposal was made quite a long time ago, but the celebration had to be postponed: the fact is that Merkulov spent 3.5 years in a pre-trial detention center under investigation. All this time, Tatyana morally supported her beloved, wrote letters, carried programs, and also gave 20 concerts a month to earn money for lawyers. In early June, Alexander was found not guilty. The 47-year-old singer met him at the courthouse. And now nothing prevents the lovers from getting married. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for the fall.

Irina Saltykova

Successful in everything

Not all women who sold clothes and cosmetics in tents in the 90s became famous singers and owners of their own serious business. Irina Saltykova succeeded in both - in turn.

Since childhood, Irina has been a purposeful and independent child. In addition to school, she was engaged in a circle of cutting and sewing, was fond of knitting, went to training in rhythmic gymnastics.

Unsuccessful marriage

In 1986, in the life of Irina, fateful meeting with her future husband Viktor Saltykov. Victor was struck by the beauty and charm of Irina. They got married, and a year later their daughter Alice was born.

Their marriage did not last long. According to the singer, this was due to Victor's addiction to alcohol. After breaking up with her husband, Irina went into business, but the profits were barely enough to live on, and then Saltykova decided to return to the stage and start a solo career.

Solo career

After the release of the video "Grey Eyes", Irina was known by the whole country. She was immediately dubbed a sex symbol and a new rising star. With each new song the singer only strengthened her popularity.

She has six albums in total, and the third, "Alice", she dedicated to her daughter. Actor career Irina was also quite successful: having played in the films "Brother-1, -2", she received critical acclaim.

Business

Now Irina is successfully running a business, she has a beauty and style house "Irina Saltykova", her own boutique and beauty salon. Little is known about the singer's personal life: she has a beloved man, but who he is, the singer keeps a secret. Songs remained in her life as a pleasant hobby.

Natalia Vetlitskaya

unexpected departure

The ex-soloist of the popular band "Mirage" for many years managed to occupy domestic show business the niche of a sexy singing blonde. And the shots with her skirt lifted from the Playboy video became one of the symbols of the nineties. Natasha released a couple of albums that were literally swept off the shelves by fans, and then suddenly disappeared from the public eye.

With what they just did not associate the departure of the pop diva from the stage. She left the world of show business in silence, without giving a farewell concert and without explaining herself to the public. The disappearance of Natalia Vetlitskaya, who turned 50 in the fall of 2014, was her conscious decision.

The birth of a daughter

Vetlitskaya decided to radically change her life after the birth of her daughter Ulyana in 2004. According to a source close to the singer, she wanted to terminate her pregnancy. She was persuaded to leave the child by producer Viktor Yudin, who became last years her right hand and close friend. The name of the father of the child, Vetlitskaya, has not been made public to this day.

New life in Spain

In addition, after the birth of her daughter, the pop diva decided to leave not only the stage, but also Russia. When Ulyana was four years old, they permanently moved to live in sunny Spain.

Today, Natasha tries not to get into the field of view of journalists, she is raising her daughter and does not like to comment on her past. Although there were also many interesting events in her personal life - for example, a ten-day marriage to Yevgeny Belousov, an affair with the domestic oligarch Kerimov (who, as journalists said, gave her an airplane). But if earlier Vetlitskaya chose exclusively the rich and famous, today she is married to her yoga mentor.

Sergei Chumakov

Good start

Sergey's songs became popular in the early 90s. They bribed the audience with special energy. Surely everyone sang in karaoke "Do not offend, groom, a young girl." It all started in Moscow back in 1972.

A simple Moscow boy who graduated from a mechanical and construction technical school did not even dream of becoming a star. However, fate gave him a ticket to the world of music. It all happened thanks to a chance acquaintance with the poet Alexander Shaganov in 1988.

He became the producer of the young talented performer. In addition, Alexander had the necessary acquaintances on television. Thanks to this, Sergey got into the Morning Star competition, although he always sang only by ear. The first songs were generally rehearsed to the accordion. Of course, he had a desire to master musical notation but he was too hooligan guy. He was expelled from the music school for bad behavior.

Popularity

Since the beginning of 1991, Sergei has been successfully recording new hits, giving concerts and going on tour. A few years later, the young singer quarrels with producer Shaganov and leaves him.

Igor Azarov becomes Sergey's new producer. The album "Walk-walk" is released. The singer begins to work in the style of Western music of the 50s and 60s. Notable performers such as Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, Luis Prima influenced his works. During this period, the singer, who was losing popularity, even made peace with Alexander Shaganov. The third album "Like the First Time" included several songs on his poems. However, Chumakov's attempt to perform Western music failed. The album completely failed, and Chumakov disappeared from the screens.

Leaving the stage

It was rumored that Alla Pugacheva helped Chumakov both get on stage and leave it. Like, the song “Do not offend, groom”, which glorified Chumakov, was originally intended for the then favorite of the Diva, Sergei Chelobanov. For this, Pugacheva was offended and "closed" Chumakov's path to show business.

“Alla Pugacheva kindly invited me to sing in her Christmas Meetings,” says Chumakov. - Immediately after that, offers of tours rained down on me. As for the song, I didn't know that Shaganov first wrote it for Chelobanov and that Chelobanov had already sung it. Therefore, when Pugacheva told me: “Sergey, don’t sing this song again,” he was indignant. After all, the song became popular in my performance. I answered Alla Borisovna: “How can I not sing? What should I answer people: what did you forbid me to sing or have I lost my memory? And he continued to perform it. But I do not think that I disappeared from the screens because of this. I just couldn’t pay such huge money for broadcasts, as Pugacheva or Kirkorov did.”

Return

Today, Sergei is happily married to a woman who supports him in everything. He noticeably prettier and is again eager to fight. He started recording songs and is even preparing to release a new album in the near future.

Group "Ladybug"

famous hit

The project, created by the singer, composer and arranger Vladimir Volenko, became widely known in the mid-nineties. Then the album "Granite pebble" was released.

In 1997, "Ladybug" becomes one of the first projects of the new large audio and production company ORT-records, headed by general producer Joseph Prigogine. On the label of this company, two more discs of the group "My Queen" and "Woman of Dreams" are released. In 1999, another success of the project was Leonid Azbel's song "And the ship goes up the Volga", which immediately falls into the category of the second hit after "Granite Stone". A disc with this track, as well as several songs by Elena Vaenga written for " ladybug”, published by Grand Records.

Line-up change

In 2000, the composition of the group changed radically, and Inna Anzorova was replaced by Natalia Poleshchuk, who, for her excessive love for sweets, Vladimir Volenko immediately assigns the pseudonym Shokoladkina. In 2004, a daughter, Dasha, was born in the family of Vladimir Volenko and Natalya Shokoladkina, and in 2008, Vladimir Jr. Therefore, during this period, the group rarely appears in the media space, but continues to actively give concerts. The last bright creative decision was the wedding duet "The First Dance of the Young", where the Volenko couple involved their own children in filming the video.

End of popularity

In recent years, the group has not been on television, but BK continues to perform and record albums.

Here is how Vladimir comments on the situation: “I am not an oligarch, not a “gay” and not a Jew. I am a simple Russian citizen, a talented and hardworking musician, but today this is not enough. Today, to be in the public eye, you must either have millions of investments, or belong to a certain clan. You can also be on a contract with some serious company, where they will immediately let you know that the channel or producer is everything, and you are nothing. I, as a person and as an artist, preferred independence, therefore, today we are not on the blue screens. But it doesn't bother me."

As for earnings, the group has enough to live on, but, unfortunately, not enough for development. However, Vladimir does not really regret his fate. He is happily married and has two children.

Group "Tender May"

From the orphanage to the stars, or the Orenburg orphan

"Tender May" is a cult musical group of the late 80s - early 90s. The first teenage group in the USSR was born in boarding school No. 2 in the city of Orenburg. Musical director was the author of all songs Sergei Kuznetsov, who led the musical circle in the orphanage. BUT calling card group (in which several compositions will later change) and the idol of millions of fans - 15-year-old orphanage Yura Shatunov.

“Thanks to the fact that I spent my childhood in an orphanage, I was able to save myself and not go astray. Because in the orphanage they don’t like greedy people, they don’t like sneaks, that is, they don’t like weak people. There, in order to live in a team, you need to adhere to certain laws. Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the group. And the same thing happened in adulthood. But I was already ready for it. I cannot communicate with people from the point of view - "you are nobody, but I am a star." First of all, you need to think that this person today may be nobody, but in a year he can become much cooler than you. Although if you come across unpleasant people, then I just don’t talk to them, no matter what high level they didn't stand. I say: “Sorry, but I can’t, I don’t want to. I don't feel comfortable being around you."

The first album "White Roses" was recorded in February 1988 on a household tape recorder and sold by Kuznetsov to a recording kiosk for 30 rubles. A few months later, the recording came to Andrey Razin (at that time the administrator of the Mirage group), who pulled off an incredible combination for those times and moved Shatunov, Kuznetsov and several other orphanage boys to Moscow, where he organized a studio for gifted children "LM". In January 1989, the clip “White Roses” was shown for the first time on the Central Television in “Morning Post”, after which a real all-Union boom began - the songs of “Tender May” sounded everywhere, and millions of fans simply went crazy for the blue-eyed young prince with a charming dimple on his cheek . The group collected the largest concert venues throughout the country and set a record for the number of concerts per day (sometimes there were 5-6 per day).

Solo voyage and years of oblivion

However, despite the overwhelming success and popularity, in early 1992 the group broke up. 18-year-old Shatunov is leaving Andrei Razin and is trying to build a solo career. For a while, he was even supported by Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who invited Yura to speak at her "Christmas Meetings" in December 1992. But, despite the release by the PolyGram Russia recording studio in 1994, the first solo album“Do You Remember” and several clips filmed, it was not easy to stay afloat. Caught in a difficult life situation, Shatunov leaves to live and work in Germany, where he studies as a sound engineer and leaves the stage for several years.

“At the age of 25-30, I began to look for myself. Then I wanted a lot at once, but I had to understand what I really really needed. And not to look at others: but these young guys, they drive good cars, with beautiful girls and so on. That is, at first you look at them and think: how cool, I want it too, and then you realize that it’s not cool at all, this one is not so beautiful beautiful life better in a different way. And this is the "other way" to find. At that time, I didn’t work with anyone, even as a system administrator. Worked a lot in the studio, but did not study own creativity and your career. And now I can say with absolute certainty that that step was truly correct and true, because now I have everything and even more: a beloved wife, beloved son and daughter, I have a place to live, I have a favorite job, I have everything . I'm a happy person".

The return of the idol

In the early 2000s, Shatunov nevertheless returned to Russia to continue his solo career, and released several albums one after another: “Remember May”, “Leaves are falling”, “If you want, do not be afraid”, “Record my voice”, "I believe". In September 2009, the singer went to big tour around the cities of Russia in support feature film"Tender May". And a year later, Yura took part in the filming of the series "Happy Together", where he played himself. To date, Shatunov continues to record songs and remains one of the most sought-after artists in the reserves.

“I visit Russia much more often than at home, in Germany. But this does not in the least prevent me from communicating with my family, seeing children and educating them. There is Skype, there is the Internet, there is a phone, after all. And then, there is a plane: I sat down, two hours - and at home.

Found personal happiness in Germany

With my future wife- Svetlana, a lawyer, Shatunov met in Germany in December 2000: “They often ask: do you believe in love at first sight and is this even possible? Maybe. This is exactly how it happened to me. It was enough just to look at each other - that's all.

They met for a long time and decided to get married only in January 2007, six months after Svetlana gave birth to her son Dennis. Six years later, on March 13, 2013, their second child, daughter Estella, was born in Bad Homburg. As Yuri admits, there are very few close people in his life: “There are actually few people I trust. In fact, they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Firstly, this is Svetlana - my wife. Secondly, Arkady, my director, with whom I have been working together for more than 27 years. Well, and a couple of guys, friends, time-tested.

In September last year, Shatunov celebrated his 41st birthday, he continued to live and work in two for two countries, having Russian passport and residence permit in Germany. In Frankfurt am Main, Yuri has a house, wife and children, but in the summer they often come to rest with their whole family in Russia, in particular, in Sochi, where Shatunov has big house, bought back in the days of "Tender May".
